Unless you're camping kingfisher is I feel the best resort to stay in. Its no 5 star resort but is probably the best available on the island. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa which had enough beds for my family of 5. Given many people bring supplies from the mainland (there is a small shop in the petrol station) it would make sense to have the fridge on for arrivals. As it was it wasn't till the next day that the fridge got cold. Maintenance was nice enough to bring a bar fridge in to tide us over so that helped at least.

Facilities are good and staff are friendly but my one big gripe is the buffet breakfast. It's not the range that I have issue with as I do know it's an island, but whoever the chef is in Jan 12-14 in the morning has no care for what is being put out at all. The sausages are being overcooked to the point where it is difficult for a knife to even cut through and have the texture of a rubber bullet. The scrambled eggs looked like they were made with a blender and were dry with no seasoning. Any chef should be ashamed of what is being put out (maybe they're vegan/vegetarian and won't taste the food?). Again it's not about range it's just about cooking it right when you are charging resort prices. On the positive side the wife was very happy with the barrista made coffee.

Overall its a good place to stay to explore Fraser (we hired a 4wd from Aussietrax). Other food we tried was good, but be wary of paying for buffet breakfast if you like starting your day with something tasty.
